Buying a farm or new business is a big step, and you might want to wait until you are settled before you do so. Most farms / businesses are sold through real estate agents, although some owners do it themselves. Compared to Canada, the Real Estate system may be different in many countries. Agency is a legal concept at the root of all agent/client relationships. In most countries we have the following kinds of Agents:
- Buyer Agency: Buyer agency is a relationship in which an Agent/Broker represents only the buyer in a transaction.
- Seller Agency: Seller agency is a relationship in which an Agent/Broker represents only the Seller in a transaction.
- Dual Agency: Dual agency is a relationship in which an Agent/Broker represents both the buyer and the seller in a transaction.
In most counties Interfarms works as Buyer Agents. In a Buyer Agency relationship, the Agent/Broker owes certain duties to its clients. These duties are called fiduciary duties. They include: Undivided loyalty
Obey instructions
Confidentiality
Reasonable care and skill
Full disclosure
Full accounting
When buying a farm or new business, it's also important to remember that there may be some other costs. These may include the agent's fee, as well as lawyer or notary's fees, yearly property tax, insurance, registration fees and in some provinces property transfer taxes, Interfarms assists new immigrants and work on their behalf throughout the immigration process, ensuring that a successful start will be made.
